Strolled my grandson 3 miles today;burned more calories pushing than just walking I ‘m sure.

Pancakes for breakfast, chicken finger plate for lunch and a SlimFast for supper. I had 70 calories worth of shaved roast beef for a snack.

Gotta take my dad to doctor tomorrow so will update on his progress.

Hope everyone is making progress on their journeys.

God bless,

Judy

Good Morning Everyone!!

Scale looked better (but I am still not happy) this morning at 196 instead of the 200 I had allowed myself to get to over the weekend.

Weather is beautiful today (70’s) so I plan to get my walking in.

Will check back in as time permits!!!!!

God bless!!

Quote of the Day: I do not believe in that word fate. It is the refuge of every self-confessed failure.   - Andrew Soutar

 I didn’t fall off the planet either!  I am surprised Alana Jo and I didn’t bump into each other out there is “cheater heaven” though!!! I been floating in there for over a week!!!

Did I also mention that I STILL hate the scales too??? I hate them because they tell on me and I don’t want to face the truth. I had rather blame fate…opps I can’t do that (see quote above)!!

I DID walk for 45 minutes today!!! Only because I ate 2 cheeseburgers for lunch and felt guilty!!! Well the weather is warming up so my excuses are slowly melting away…..

I actually hit 200 this weekend but I am back down now!!!!! That served as my wake-up call (sort of till the cheeseburgers today).

My dad is doing better. I have to take him back to orthopedist Thursday to see if he is mending okay. You would think that all the walking back and forth that I do to his house and mine everyday (several times a day) would count for something!!!

Jade fell (playing football) and sprained her ankle and she was here for Easter weekend on crutches. She is getting better slowly but making advances everyday.

Well I have depressed myself enough so I will say goodnight for now!!

Hope you all are behaving and making great progress!!!

Hugs,

Judy

Quote of the Day:  Good habits result from resisting temptation.  Ancient Proverb

 Well as the title says: I am thoroughly disgusted with myself!!!! Monday I weighed in at 196.4, and went down daily from there. Yesterday I weighed in at 197.4  can you believe it?????????????????????????????????  The only good thing is I weighed in 4 ounces less this morning than yesterday but still 197 is UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!! I over ate on the pretzels. I know pretzels aren’t that bad for you and you can have about 48 as a serving (these are the short stick ones) but not the whole stinking bag, Judy!!!!!!!!!

My dad is doing better. He actually slept thru the night last night!! He keeps me hopping though!!

Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend.

God bless,

Judy

The scale smiled on me this morning…down a pound…Yippie!!!!!

Today is already looking menacing…the South is in for rough weather.

Will check back in as often as possible with updates.

I pray everyone has a safe and happy day!!

God bless,

Judy

The weather was beautiful here today so after I got my dad taken care of I took several of my dogs for walks…except in the case of my rottie, Hunni…she ran me!!! The cockers do well on the leash and the bulldog is an easy walk too. I just let the Malamute run on his own…he actually has road sense, so I don’t have to stay right with him. All together I got 45 minutes in.

They say we are looking at bad weather tomorrow lots of rain and possible tornado weather too. I am so scared of that type of weather…I hate thunder storms! Hopefully we will bypass the storms and I can get more walking in.

Gotta take 2 of my cockers to the groomer tomorrow morning…the 2 boys. One of them has a girlfriend coming for the weekend and he wants to look spiffy!!!!

 Haven’t heard from the specialist yet…hopefully before the weekend cause my dad is in lots of pain.

Thanks for the wonderful supportive messages…we appreciate it more than you know.

Hope everyone has a great rest of the night…

Hugs,

Judy

My 81 year old dad called this morning telling me he had fallen and hurt himself. Took him to the doctor and Yes, his arm is broken!! Poor fellow!! Thank God it was not his dominant arm. He is home on pain meds., his arm in a sling and awaiting a call from an orthopedic specialist.

Thanks ladies for all your encouragement. I am still hanging in with ya on this journey!!

Hope you all have a great and successful day!!!

God bless,

Judy

Quote of the Day:  It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can do only a little. Do what you can.     - Sydney Smith

The scale today is 195…195!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am supposed to be in the 170’s by my birthday and here I am right smack in the middle of the 190’s…what the heck am I doing????

Is the 83 pounds all I am supposed to lose?????  NOOOOOO!!!!! NOOOOOOOO and a thousand times NOOOOOO!!!

I am so disgusted with myself I have not felt like writing. I want to be an influence not a detriment. I have NOT given up though…I promise!!!!

I AM walking today!!!!  I AM walking today…I really am!!!!!!!!!!

Will check back in later…got a call from my dad. He has fallen and hurt himself so I gotta run.

God bless!!!!!!

Quote of the Day: Examples move more than words.  Seneca

 Well jury duty was soo cool!! I liked it a lot!!  I know that is strange but I am just that way…

The scales are going in the right direction for now. I had gained about 6 pounds and was tipping the scale at 196.4 at my highest (since January, I think). I weighed in at 193 this morning so I am heading into better territory…. now if I can just keep it going down! The weather is warming up so I pray I can get back to the walking routine like I did last summer.

Breakfast was a bowl of Golden Grahams (all I had time for). I think lunch is supposed to be spaghetti…yum yum!! No idea about supper as yet. Hubby is off all week so he can take over the supper duties this week.

Will check back in as time permits!!!

Have a great rest of the week!!

God bless!!

Judy

Let’s just say I have been really bad…gained 2 pounds in addition to the 4 I already gained …totally disgusted with myself and leave it at that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope ya’ll behaved yourselves!!!!  Hope everyone is getting well…hubby got the flu again!!  If he gives it to me again…I am going to kill him.  I have jury duty starting tomorrow so I have no idea when I will be back to blog.

Ya’ll take care and talk to ya when time permits!!

 God bless,

Judy
